Something I heard from a colleague.....

In conjunction with my previous post....I had heard a story where a student had put together a package to send home .... outside of Italy.  When you send something by mail...you have to itemize everything...and I mean everything and provide the cost of it.  So this fellow was very honest and indicated he was sending home his drawings.  Well....there was some drama behind that one.  Apparently, his package was held up and opened up and his drawings were sent to the administration of the Uffizzi gallery to be stamped indicating they were student drawings and not 'master' drawings.  So when you are sending drawings home...indicate that they are posters to save you the excitement.  Ciao.
